Full lyrics
Fiz um roçado na capoeira de dentro
Plantei arroz e coentro, macaxeira e feijão
Plantei mamão, eu plantei no formigueiro
Terminei a plantação com milho no asseiro
Com milho no asseiro,
Com milho no asseiro,
Pra vender no são joão
E ganhar muito dinheiro
Se vivemos com bom criador
Este ano sei que vou tirar o pé do pó
Já sei de cor quanto vou ganhar
Vou me despreocupar com milho no paiol
Com milho no paiol,
Com milho no paiol,
Vou vender toda a colheita
E ficar com milho só
Translation
I made a clearing in the inner thicket
I planted rice and cilantro, cassava and beans
I planted papaya, I planted in the anthill
I finished the planting with corn in the clearing
With corn in the clearing,
With corn in the clearing,
To sell at the São João festival
And earn a lot of money
If we live with a good creator
This year I know I'll get out of the dust
I already know by heart how much I'm going to earn
I'm going to stop worrying with corn in the barn
With corn in the barn,
With corn in the barn,
I'm going to sell the whole harvest
And keep only corn
